sgsguruOne of Grandad's stories:
One time, Jesse James went into a barbershop. He grabbed the guy in the chair, threw him across the room, and said "I'm Jessie James. Give me a shave, and if you give me so much as one little nick, I'll blow your head clean off!"
And he sat down in the barber chair. Well, the barber lathered him up and proceeded to give Jessie the best shave he'd ever had. Not one nick, not one cut, not one burn, and smooth as a baby's butt.
Jesse paid him, gave him a gold piece as a tip, and said, "You know, I really wouldn't have shot you. I just like to watch people get a bad case of the shakes when they realize who they're dealing with. Most folks can't even bring a razor close to my face, let alone shave me. How'd you manage it.?"
"Well", the barber said, "I just figured if I nicked you, there's a $5000 price on your head, dead or alive. And I had a razor next to your throat."
Jesse was the one who left the barbershop with a bad case of the shakes.
